Trivia:
Martin Scorsese was originally set to direct but dropped out. In fact, it was Scorsese who recruited screenwriter Richard Price to write a draft. According to an interview with Neal Gabler, Price said, "[Scorsese] felt like he had already 'done' [Night in the City] in all his other films... there was no challenge for him." It would be another six years before Producer/Director Irwin Winkler and Robert De Niro became interested in making the film.

I'm the kind of guy that sometimes watches a movie based on its cast or its director, and that was the case with 'Night and The City' with Robert de Niro. Unhappily this movie is not as good as the best ones from de Niro ( Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, King of Comedy, Once Upon a Time in America or The Godfather 2, Jackie Brown ). In this movie, de Niro looks like Jim Carrey with his electric style, but this is not the de Niro we're used to see.
The movie is about Harry Fabian ( a second-class lawyer from N.Y. ) that tries to make success in the boxing-promoting market. But the market is dominated by Boom Boom Brossman, a senior promoter of big fights in N.Y. that sees his domain threatened by Fabian. To get the money to promote the fights, Fabian needs to beg money from all his friends, one of them, Phil is the owner of the Boxers pub. Phil's wife, Helen, is in love with Fabian and plans to leave Phil and open her own pub.
Night and the City is a remake of the homonym filmed in 1950, that I haven't seen but is much better rated than the 1992's version.
It seems that Irwin Winkler works better as a movie producer than as director. One of the movies he promoted are Ranging Bull, New York New York and The Goodfellas, all them starring Robert de Niro.
